Dreaming I Can Fly

dreaming I can fly arms outstretched I’m flying high my spirit and I dreaming I can fly luna love she sends to me moonbeams pass me by dreaming I can fly spaceships zooming I espy blinking of an eye dreaming I can fly zillion stars lighten my way turning night to day dreaming I can fly looking down on earth below cherishing life's worth rousing from my dream will folks doubt when I tell them sights that I have seen loving life on earth but crave my nightly flights to sate my soul each night Written 21st July 2019 Contest: Multiple Haikus Sponsor: Jamie Pan Syllables Per Line: 5 7 5 0 5 7 5 0 5 7 5 0 5 7 5 0 5 7 5 0 5 7 5 0 5 7 5 Contest Name STRAND SELECT 5 Sponsor Brian Strand HONORABLE MENTION

Your string of pearls about flying is so delightful, my Sky Friend! I think it must be everybody's favorite dream (though I don't stay asleep long enough anymore to have many dreams, alas!) You brought in some nice aspects of the sky: the stars and "luna love", as well as the enchanting elation of looking down upon the earth! A charming write, Ann.

I still dream this because I believe our souls do fly at night when we dream. A lovely series of haiku, lovely! Well done!

Many thanks Caren for your most welcome visit and lovely comments. It is the sheer freedom of flying like a bird that is so appealing to me and as a child I had these dreams, but sadly they no longer happen - but I live in hope! Kindest thoughts Ann xx
